So many hummingbirds in our yard!!
These will be really cute painted, I think.
A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
Sitting outside with my dog on the first real fall-feeling afternoon, so I sketched what I could see. Yes, that is a HUGE hummingbird at the top… hes just closer to me. We have so many … we have a charm, a troubling, a hover of hummingbirds (I googled words used for a group of hummingbirds… I don’t know if they are real but I like them all) I also sketched the pot that holds my fairy garden… which is mostly now some derelict green onions , a bit of clover, and some low thyme you cant see in the sketch. I hope to paint these in another day. One day soon I’m going to start spending whole days on art…
Posted a little early… I like this better, as I keep playing around with the ideas… I like the wet loose backgrounds. I don’t want to hang it on the wall, but it was fun to paint, and I like looking at it.
I used Daniel Smith and Qor paints… I like the way the Qor fans out and makes little fireworks on the damp page. I have to figure out how to use that to my advantage.
From a video tutorial on youtube by lazywonderbrush… I did mine a little differently, playing around with it (which I liked). But my poor little birdie is a bit chubby… he can barely fly! I need more work with her technique but I really enjoy it.
